About Italian Charms
While traditional charms dangle, Italian charms feature individual pieces soldered flat onto the surface of a charm link. These flat, modular pieces form an Italian charm bracelet when they are hooked together. The standard sized Italian charm is 9mm, which is measured diagonally across the piece. However, Italian charms are also available in small (5mm), large (13mm) and mega (18mm) sizes. It is important to remember that since Italian charms have standardized sizing, they are compatible across brands.
When looking into purchasing Italian charms, you will come across the term starter bracelet. You will need to begin with a starter bracelet, which consists of eighteen blank links. In order to create a personalized Italian charm bracelet, these blank links are replaced, one by one, with selected designs of Italian charms. The modular style allows the charms to be removed and replaced with other designs as desired.

The intrigue of Italian charm collecting is that with so many styles available, the possibilities are endless. With such variety at your fingertips, you can create a truly unique collection. Choose from enamel painted charms, laser charms, photo charms, licensed charms, double links and super links to add to your growing collection.
